Tanklock med förbättrat grepp

Sammanfattning

This degree project was conducted in collaboration with Husqvarna AB, the headquarters

of which are located in Jönköping. The aim was to further develop the filler cap found on

more or less the whole of the company’s range of chain saws, in order to make it more

user friendly.

The present filler cap is not easy to open and close, especially when wearing gloves, and

under difficult conditions, which creates problems and prolongs filling time.

On the basis of market surveys, different prototypes and tests, we have created an

ergonomically improved cap of a new shape, which can be moved in the axial direction,

thus making filling easier.
